Lupin 'Lupini Blue' is a delightful addition to any garden, characterized by its compact and bushy growth habit. This perennial, part of the well-loved Lupini series, stands out for its abundant flowering and dwarf stature, making it an excellent choice for borders, containers, and smaller garden spaces where traditional lupins may overwhelm the landscape. The plant showcases stunning spikes of soft to mid-blue flowers that rise gracefully above its lush green foliage, creating a visually appealing display that can brighten up any area.
Blooming from late spring into early summer, 'Lupini Blue' offers a vibrant show of color that can be extended with proper care. By deadheading spent flowers, gardeners may encourage a second wave of blooms, enhancing the plant's overall impact in the garden. Its compact size makes it particularly suitable for front-of-border planting or as a charming accent in pots, allowing for versatility in garden design. Additionally, this variety is known to attract bees and other pollinators, contributing to the overall biodiversity of the garden and supporting the vital ecosystem.
To thrive, 'Lupini Blue' prefers full sun and moderately fertile, well-drained soil, conditions that help it flourish and produce its characteristic blooms. The foliage is palmate and forms a tidy mound, adding to the plant's neat appearance. However, it is important to protect young shoots from slugs, especially in the spring when they first emerge. Hardy in the UK, this perennial can withstand frost and winter cold, making it a resilient choice for gardeners looking to add a splash of color to their outdoor spaces year-round. Height: 40 cm (16 in) Spread: 30 cm (12 in)

Live Plants
Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
